RULES 
FOR THE CARE AND PRESERVATION 

OIF 1 •^sT^.a-OI^S -&.2<T1D C^.^^I^.O-E3S. 



1. Carriages should be kept in an airy, dry coach house, There should he a moderate amount of light; other- 
wise the colors will he affected. The windows should be curtained, to avoid having direct sunlight strike upon a 
carriage. 

2. There should be no communication between the stable and the coach house. The manure heap or pit should 
also be located as far away from the carriage house as possible. Ammonia fumes crack and destroy varnish, and 
fade the colors both of painting and lining. Also avoid having a carriage stand near a brick wall, as the dampness 
from the wall will fade the colors and destroy the varnish. 

3. Whenever a carriage stands unused for several days, it should be protected by a large cotton cover sufficient- 
ly strong to keep off the dust, without altogether excluding the light. Dust, when allowed to settle on a carriage, 
eats into the varnish. Care should be taken to keep this cover dry. 

4. When a carnage is new or newly varnished, it is better for it to stand a few days, and to be frequently 
washed and well dried off, before being used ; frequent washings with cold water and exposure to fresh air in the 
shade will also help to harden and brighten its finish. Never alloiv mud to remain long enough upon a newly varnished 
carriage to dry upon it, or spots and stains will invariably result. 



5. While washing a carriage keep' it out of the sun. Use plenty of water, ^taking great care that it is not 
driven into the body, to the injury of the lining. Use for the body panels a large, soft sponge; ;when'saturated, 
squeeze this over the panels, and, by the flowing down of the water, the dirt will soften and harmlessly run off • 
Care should be taken to wipe the surface quite dry with soft chamois leather after each washing. 

6. The directions just given for washing the body apply as well to the under parts and wheels, but use for the 
latter a different sponge and chamois than those used on the body. Never use a "spoke brash," which, in conjunc- 
tion with the grit from the road, would act like sand paper on the varnish, scratching it and of course removing the 
gloss. 

7. Never allow water to dry of itself on a carriage, as it would invariably leave stains. Hot water or soap should 
never be used in washing a varnished surface. 

s. Enameled-leather tops, and aprons should be washed with very weak soap and water. No oil should be put 
on enameled leather. 

9. To prevent or destroy moths in woolen linings, use turpentine and camphor. In the case of a close carriage 
the simple evaporation from the [mixture, when placed in a saucer (the glass being closed,) will be found a certain 
cure. 

10. Inspect the entire carriage occasionally, and whenever a bolt or clip appears to be getting loose, tighten it 
up with a wrench, and always have little repairs done at once. Should the tires of the wheels get at all slack, so tha 1, 
the joints of the felloes become visible, have them immediately contracted, or the wheels may be permanently in- 
jured. "A stitch in time saves nine!" 

11. Examine the axles frequently; keep them well oiled, and see that the washers are in good order. Pure 
sperm oil is considered the best for lubricating purposes; castor oil will answer; but never sweet oil, as it will gum 
up. Be careful in replacing the axle-nuts, not to cross the thread or strain them. 

12. Leather top carnages should never stand long in the carriage house with the top down. After raising the 
top, "break" the joints slightly to take off the strain on the webstay and leather. Aprons of every kind should be 
frequently unfolded, or they will soon spoil. 



OUR WARRANTY. 



The Carriage Builders' National Association, at their Convention, held in the city of New York, November 20 
1873, adopted the following form of Guaranty, to be used by all members of the Association upon the vehicles manu- 
factured by them : 

GUARANTY. 

The Wagon or Buggy is guaranteed, with fair and reasonable use. as a private vehicle, for one year from date of 
purchase. If any part of said carriage shall fail, by reason of imperfect material or workmanship, the seller hereby 
agrees to make good such defects, free of expense to the purchaser ; but nothing in this agreement shall render the 
seller liable to make good any damages to paint and varnish resulting from the action of ammonia or extraordinary 
exposure to the elements, nor shall the seller be required to reset the tires, or renew tires worn out within the period 
above named. 

WATERTOWN SPRING WAGON COMPANY. 

We do not engage to make good all axles or springs that may be broken during the first year's use of the vehicle 
described herewith, but only those which show defects in the metal. 

In all cases where breakage occurs the defective pieces of timber or iron must be furnished to us or our agent for 
inspection before any claim will be allowed. This warranty is not to be construed to mean that any purchaser of a 
Watertown Wagon is entitled to repairs on the same when the fracture shows that the timber or iron used was good 
and the workmanship faultless. 

WE MAKE NO CHARGE FOR BOXING. 

Our Wagons are shipped in good order. We do not insure a safe carnage or delivery. In cases of damage, over- 
charge, or delay in transit, the purchasers recourse is upon the transportation company. 
All remittances and communications must be addressed,
